About This Item

London: Printed for T. Payne..., and T. Cadell Jun. and W. Davies, 1796.. First edition. Five volumes. 12mo. Later blue quarter morocco over marbled boards, spines with raised bands, twin gilt lettered labels and the date gilt lettered direct to the feet, a prior owner's book small discreet book label to the rear pastedowns. Pp. xxv-xlviii - predominantly the list of subscribers - misbound into the main part of text, else a very good set. The list of subscribers includes "Miss J. Austen, Steventon". This was certainly the first and quite possibly the only time the author's name appeared in print in her lifetime given that every edition of Austen's novels published before her death were issued anonymously.
